Speak Up: Residents sound off on 163rd Avenue project

Here are some comments about stories happening in Surprise:

Final phase of 163rd Avenue work begins in Surprise

“Surprise is building way too much. It’s not our nice little city anymore. Too many fast food places. No nice steakhouses. Need a Golden Coral restaurant.” — Jan B.

“Running out of gas waiting for the light to change.” — Jesse F.

“It takes them so long to build the roads that they’re already obsolete by the time they open.” — Colleen F.

“Getting through the 303 intersection to get to 163 Avenue is the worst traffic congestion ever. Rush hour is a nightmare.” — Bob N.

2 teenagers charged as suspects in Surprise assault

“So sad that kids think this is OK. I hope they learn a very important lesson.” — Shannon B.

“The party was at someone’s house. Shouldn’t the parents also face charges?” — Paul B.

“The problem? No consequences.” — Michael G.

“I hope they go to jail.” — Elaine B.

Surprise gas prices drop a little as summer arrives

“You can save up to $1 a gallon by using Safeway points at their gas stations.” — Donna W.

“Be careful with the cheap gas. If it’s not top tier, it probably has the bear minimum detergents to keep your engine clean.  Costco is top tier as well as Chevron and Shell.” — Roger G.

“Costco is always the cheapest... If you use their VISA, then you even get 5% back on their price.” — Ron P.

“Where do you get gas in Surprise? Depends on the restaurants you frequent.” — Genie A.
